Parliament: bill to ban non-veg food at govt events planned by BJP MP for Winter Session

An interesting bill regarding non-vegetarian food is set to be tabled in the Parliament in the upcoming Winter session. A BJP MP has proposed a legislation to prohibit non-veg food at all government programmes.

Parvesh Sahib Singh, BJP MP from West Delhi listed the bill citing climate change and the negative impact of non-veg food on the environment. He gave the German environment ministry's example as inspiration.

The proposed legislation is called the Official Government Meetings and Functions (Prohibition on Serving Non-Vegetarian Food) Bill, according to a Hindustan Times report.

The MP clarified that the bill does not concern eating preferences of common people, but is a push from the government's side to take "a step towards sustainable food systems and climate-friendly lifestyle".
